Purr Year’s Eve 2025 – A calming Sound Bath for cats and dogs

Hey Cat & Dog Lovers, our Purr Year’s Eve Sound Bath is back for the third year in a row! Together with STRAYZ, we’ve once again created a New Year’s Eve Sound Bath designed to help calm your cats and dogs during intense fireworks.

Just like in the past two years, the same applies in 2025: Create a safe space for your cat or dog where they can retreat. Keep curtains closed to reduce light stimulation, place a small speaker near their hideout, and play the Sound Bath on “repeat all” in a continuous loop. Please be mindful of the volume. Animals hear much more than humans.

You can test how your furry friends react to the following two teaser videos. Here is the generally recommended version. A steady, continuous sound field without distinct impulses or strikes. This version is especially suitable for sound-sensitive cats and dogs: 

However, some animals respond more calmly to recurring impulses than to complete monotony. In this case, this version may be more suitable. It features a calm soundscape with very slow, deep strokes of a Tibetan singing bowl.

If you don’t have YouTube Premium, we recommend using an ad blocker of your choice, so ads don’t interrupt playback. You might also consider activating the free YouTube Premium trial, downloading the Sound Bath, and playing it in flight mode.

How it works: You donate an amount of your choice to Kimolos Cats, and we’ll send you the YouTube link to the 60-minute Sound Bath. Simple as that. The Sound Bath is intentionally “boring” and monotonous, because that’s what helps calm animals.

‼️ PayPal does not allow us to send video links. Please make sure to include your email address with your donation or contact us directly via kimoloscats@gmail.com or Instagram (@kimolosdiaries) so we can send you the Sound Bath links right away.

If you’re unsure how much to donate, we suggest €9 as a reference. There’s no right or wrong here. Everyone gives within their own means.

This year, all Purr Year’s Eve donations go to a woman here on the island who gives everything for stray cats. She feeds them, medicates them and stays with them when no one else does. She is very alone in her activism. We want to change that. We’re convinced that real change becomes possible when efforts are combined. That’s why we founded Kimolos Cats and are already preparing for the upcoming tourism season. You can find all information about the project here.

On behalf of the stray cats of Kimolos, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support 🐾
